Zhang Ke suddenly felt a little shuddered. He didn't know why Yuan Mengmeng, who was fine just now, suddenly said such an allusion, which made people feel a little inappropriate.
However, he still managed to maintain a smile and said: "That's true, but that's just a legend, right? It's impossible for such a magical flower to bloom on an ordinary hillside."
"Yes, that's just a legend created by later generations." The woman responded with a smile, "The real Higanbana flower does not grow in the valley, but floats on the Huangquan River, which is as wide as the ocean..."
Zhang Ke suddenly felt his body shake, and seemed to notice something. He suddenly raised his head and saw the face of "Yuan Mengmeng" - and then, he almost fell down the mountain from here.
"The sea flower as bright as blood—this is the true form of the flower of the other shore, but we won't have the chance to see it."
The person speaking was still the woman just now.
However, it is no longer Yuan Mengmeng.
"Xu...Xu Xiaoli!!!" Zhang Ke blurted out her name, but his legs trembled violently involuntarily.
He had seen this familiar face countless times. It was graceful and graceful, with all kinds of charm and beauty, but with a hint of fatigue from the world.
However, every time in the past, all Zhang Ke saw was her bloody face and cold body.
It haunted him like a nightmare, and the tragic corpse that he had to face at the beginning of every reincarnation was now standing in front of him alive, telling the legend about the flowers of the other side and the flowers of the sea.
If this was still a sweet and warm dream until just now, then from now on, it will inevitably fall towards a weird and terrifying nightmare.
"It's me, dear Zhang Ke." Xu Xiaoli showed a sweet smile and said, "I'm really glad that you still remember my name - or maybe you actually don't remember it a long time ago and found it from other places.
of?"
"You - why are you here? And, where is Mengmeng? Where did you hide her?"
Zhang Ke subconsciously looked around, but could not see any trace of the presence of another person.
In fact, he had known for a long time that Yuan Mengmeng had never left. She had always stayed by his side, accompanying him to select and pick every flower, and express his opinions and thoughts.
Yuan Mengmeng did not leave, she just "transformed" into the Xu Xiaoli in front of her at that moment, both in appearance and temperament.
Although he knew that there was nothing to be serious about with a dream, and there was no need to be logical, the unexpected changes before him really made Zhang Ke unable to calm down for a moment.
"Dear, what are you talking about?" Xu Xiaoli put down the flower in her hand and walked towards Zhang Ke gracefully step by step.
The latter, however, kept retreating instinctively, and almost blurted out "Don't come over here."
"Mengmeng? It seems to be the name of a girl. Is it also one of your girlfriends?" The expression on Xu Xiaoli's face was completely unclear. It was like a bottomless black hole that did not release any energy.
Come on.
"You, you..." Zhang Ke was speechless, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Rather than being surprised, he felt more of a chill and fear that penetrated his bones. He didn't know why his sweet memories with Yuan Mengmeng suddenly turned into this... woman who was probably killed by him.
.
As if she could see through Zhang Ke's mind, Xu Xiaoli pursed her lips, stretched out her hand with some pretense of grievance, pointed to the top of her head, and said in an indescribable weird voice:
"It's really painful. Here - you are too harsh."
"You mean..." Zhang Ke swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but his heartbeat became more intense, "It's really me..."
"Yeah, why do you want to kill me?" Xu Xiaoli suddenly rushed forward, without any prior preparation for acceleration, and stuck to Zhang Ke like a black shadow.
A face as deep as a black hole was directly attached to Zhang Ke's sweaty face. A pair of bloodshot eyes that almost protruded from the eye sockets stared at the murderer who killed him.
Zhang Ke wanted to scream, wanted to run away using his hands and feet, but the moment his cheek was pressed against the opponent's, he felt that all his strength was drained away by an inexplicable sense of nothingness.
Hands and feet - the muscles are relaxed and lose strength. Even if you move a toe slightly, it feels like you are pressing down on thousands of mountains and rivers.
His lips seemed to be locked by an invisible lock, and not even a single word of defense or question could come out of his vocal cords.
At this moment, he felt that apart from retaining his fearful self-awareness, he was almost no different from a doll.
"Is it because of her? Because you don't want to leave your false lover and this stable life, so you want to kill me who has messed up everything." Xu Xiaoli suddenly opened her mouth and laughed.
I don’t know whether it was because she was overly frightened or because she didn’t have any common sense in the dream. Xu Xiaoli’s mouth opened as she laughed wildly, so big that it swallowed up her entire face. Her teeth were densely packed in a circle and had different shapes.
Like human teeth, but like snake teeth with sharp barbs.
"No, no - I don't remember anything!!"
Finally, the extreme fear and excitement made Zhang Ke burst out with the strength to break free. He seemed to feel the existence of his limbs again, pushed away the monster-like Xu Xiaoli in front of him, and fled down the mountain.
"Don't remember? But you promised me that you would never forget."
Xu Xiaoli still stood motionless, not even taking a step outward.
But the strange thing is that no matter how far Zhang Ke runs down the mountain, he can always see the other person when he turns around, standing a few meters behind him, with a mouth that looks like an alien monster, laughing and questioning:
"You once said that you would search for the truth with me and fight against the whole world with me. Did you throw all your own promises behind you?"
"Promise? Truth? I don't understand. What does it mean?"
Zhang Ke really wanted to stop, look back, and ask questions calmly.
But his reason and instinct told him that he must never stop, and he must never think that the monster behind him would talk nicely.
"If you know the truth, please tell me. Even if I really killed you, I don't remember anything now!!" Zhang Ke could only shout loudly while running away.
.
"Don't remember? I've seen people pretend to be mentally ill to get away with it, but this is the first time I've seen someone pretend to have amnesia to deny it."
